RE: Forecasting -- MAPICS-L

We are using Focus Forecasting from Demand solutions and have written our
own interface.

Focus Forecasting is PC based and works very well.

                I have used the Mapics module and found it rather basic.  We
are currently
                using a package from Futurion call Futurecast.  It seems to
be a more
                robust package, but you have to write your own interface
into MAPICS,
                unless a third party has written the interface already.

                We're looking into getting a forecasting package.  I would
like to know
                what
                others are using in conjunction with MAPICS XA.  Are you
using the MAPICS
                forecasting module or a 3rd party forecasting package?  What
have your
                experiences been with either?

                Thanks,

                Robert Arnold
